TODAY
Hi there.
Please work with me and do the following exercise:
(1) Sit up straight in your chair.
(2) Take a nice, big, deep breath in through your nose.
(3) Hold it for about five seconds.
(4) Release the breath through your mouth.
(5) Smile.
Hey, check this out: YOU ARE ALIVE TODAY!
And today is the only day that you are alive. Tomorrow is a square on your calendar, and yesterday is just a collage of words, images, and emotions. Today is the only day you can be pinched and feel it. Today you are breathing. Today you can change the world. Today you can call that old friend you've been meaning to call. Today you can go for a run. Today you can eat spaghetti. Only today can you talk to God and hear His voice. Only today can you practice random acts of kindness on unsuspecting victims. Today you can listen to your favorite song. Today you can make a decision to live.
Today is a one-day special. (When you forget this, repeat steps one through five)
"Therefore God again set a certain day, calling it Today..." (Hebrews 4.7)

How refreshing, thank you.
I needed to read that today! Thanks for posting that, Tim.
That's not his only special day... "For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a sabbath of complete rest to the LORD; whoever does any work on it shall be put to death."
Be refreshed, or you die. :)
You'd die too if you worked seven days a week for the rest of your life.
I'm accessing my Smartphone's internet access with my PC via bluetooth.
Kinda nifty... if I have a cell signal, I can go online, without even plugging anything in.
I heard that bluetooth software can kill you too. Something about having the radio waves directing entering your ear canal for hours upon end. Actually, that might relate to the purpose of sabbaths, to protect us from death by overextended uses of technology.
